I did some work on my POS VW Passat yesterday, disconnected the battery while I was working. When I was done I hooked the batt back up and the car wouldn't start, it would crank but never catch & fire.
So off to the interwebz and I found out a few tricks, unhook the neg terminal and touch it to the + terminal for a few minutes, hook the neg terminal back up and the car fires. However I seem to need to go through this procedure every time I shut the car off now. What gives?
I've read it's the anti-theft system in the car, but I can't find how to reset the system for a perm fix, just my temp fix. Damn I hate this car.
Anyone have any thoughts, I'd sure appreciate hearing them.
